Public, Charter Grades 9-12

22^nd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 256 Arizona High Schools

Better than 91% of Arizona high schools

Summary

Arizona Agribusiness & Equine Center - Estrella is a 335-student high school serving grades 9–12 in Avondale, Arizona. Its 2025–26 results show a clear strength in both core subjects: proficiency was 65% in math and 69% in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 33% and 41% statewide. The standout finding is that Estrella’s math and ELA results were 32 and 28 points above Arizona, respectively.

Estrella also compares favorably with nearby high schools, and its district reports the same math and ELA scores as the school. Among nearby schools serving grades 9–12 with results available, Estrella’s all-grades math proficiency of 65% was 31 points above their 34% average; its 69% ELA result was 30 points above their 39% average. In grade 11, Estrella led nearby schools in math at 65%, just ahead of Great Hearts Academies - Trivium Prep at 63%. Trivium was ahead in ELA, however, with 74% compared with Estrella’s 69%, and in science, with 50% compared with 43%. Estrella’s latest science result was still 24 points above Arizona’s 19%; science is a relative weak spot only in that its state advantage is smaller than the school’s math and ELA advantages.

Science results have improved over time: Estrella’s grade-11 proficiency rose from 26% in 2022–23 to 43% in 2024–25, while the state rate fell from 22% to 19%. SchoolDigger ranks Estrella 22nd of 256 Arizona schools, at the 91st percentile with five stars; nearby Trivium is slightly higher at the 93rd percentile. Estrella’s student-teacher ratio was 19.7 in 2024–25, second-lowest among nearby schools with figures; Trivium’s was 10.8. SchoolDigger’s historical subgroup rankings also show notable gains: the African American Students percentile rose from 27 in 2021–22 to 85 in 2022–23, and the Special Education Students percentile rose from 49 to 84, indicating marked improvement in how the school ranked statewide for serving these groups. These subgroup rankings are historical; free/reduced-lunch rates and school graduation rates after 2020–21 are not reported.
